In yesterday’s post “Moving In” I asked the question, are you against moving in with your significant other prior to marriage or are you for it? Below are the numbers I got from the poll (anything that came in after I wrote this is not included).

Against = 8 They were all women ( If it seems like I can’t count it’s because one woman voted twice for “against.” Cheater!)

For it = 4 3 men and 1 woman

50/50 = 1 woman

These numbers are questionable to me. In reality, practically every serious non-married couple I know live together. As for the married couples I know, they lived together before getting married.

I received a tip from a friend that Why Did I Get Married Too? was a good movie. When I asked if it was some marriage counseling movie, I was told no. I trusted my source and rented the movie when I got home. After the first hour, my initial thought was that I’d never ask that friend for stock advice. I felt like I was trapped between Waiting to Exhale (which I loathe) and The Brothers (which is ok). I’d almost lost complete hope, but fortunately things got interesting in the last hour. I’ll spare you the movie review, you can find it here if you’re interested. I won’t spoil the movie or anything, but I’m writing this post for another reason. There’s one thing in this movie and the prequel that makes my head hurt. Her name is Angela.Continue reading →
